Obama Runs From His Record on the Economy: Opinion

In 2010, frustrated with huge federal budget deficits and too little progress on the economy, American voters elected a Republican House to rein in federal finances and restore some sanity.

Now, as GOP House acts on its mandate, Mr. Obama accuses it of imposing a radical vision on America, social Darwinism and bogus trickle-down economics. "The Republicans in Congress have doubled down," the president said. "Their new budget makes
their
Contract with America look like the New Deal."

In fact, it is Mr. Obama's own elitist vision of America and flawed policies that are stealing hope and robbing the middle class.
